Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

It's a requirement for people to suffer for others to get ahead. It's the entire basis of our economy and given the unsustainable population, it's only going to get worse. Like much much worse. The redistribution of wealth would probably take a war tbh. There's a ton of people who just don't care, or have been indoctrinated to believe they deserve to suffer. No one wants to fight a war. We maintain status quo until the earth kicks us off. And we're left with sustainable population.
Lol what. We have machines and automation now. We can just make manufacturing equipment "suffer" while the humans "get ahead".
The zero-sum worldview has been dead since the industrial revolution. Any widespread suffering at this point is the fault of humans.
Edit: unless you're trying to say something else?
I'm making that point exactly. Why aren't we?
